Designing Woman

When Mehmoda began as an embroidery artisan 25 years ago, she was unsure of herself: ÒI would not have believed I had the talent to design embroidery.Ó But staff workers and her fellow artisans recognized that she had skills, imagination and leadership potential. Today she creates original designs for the design workshops. She was also one of 5 artisan who traveled to Kutch for special training. Kutch is famous for fine needlework and Mehmoda was inspired to continue to develop and improve her craft.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

This is a lovely dress! It is lightweight (but not see-through), comfortable and flattering. I have size L and it fits great. (I usually wear XL in shirts.) I was worried about the arms and chest (the 2 areas I have the most trouble with), but it is not too tight. The color is great! I washed it before I wore it to make sure the color wouldn't come out on me. I hung it up to dry and no shrinkage. Still fits great!

Dress up, dress down

This dress is so comfortable and easy to wear. I love the elbow length sleeves that hide the fleshy upper arm. Blue is my color and having different shades delights me even more.

I got great compliments on a great dress.

Love the colors, love the generous fit, love the look. I'd recommend this for anyone who, like me, wants to feel fresh and cool in the summertime, as well as to anyone who wants to support women at work.

Quality

The dress is better than I had hoped, with quality cotton fabric, touches of fine hand done embroidery and the basic seam stichery finer than most consumer clothing on the market, especially at this reasonable prie. The color is very close to bcatalogue and web images and is a good quality dye.

Classy and Comfortable!

Love the comfortable style as I have others like it. Almost didn't keep it because the material was so much heavier. Wanted the lovely blue and white for a summer dress, but it is too heavy for Arizona.

Great dress when you're in a hurry. Stripes going in all the right directions to flatter. Pockets a plus.
